Principal Investigator(s):
Markus, Gregory

Summary:

This study contains a subset of the World Handbook of
Political and Social Indicators II data on national attributes
and domestic violence for 136 nations in the period 1955-1964.
The teaching package is intended to provide data for examining
current theories of domestic violence and to introduce students
to a number of topics in quantitative aggregate analyses. Data
are provided in five-year periods for the economic, political,
and social characteristics of the nations. Economic variables
provide information on the gross national product (GNP), energy
consumption per capita, sectorial income inequality, land
inequality, and calories intake per capita. Political variables
provide information on government sanctions, political
executions, deaths from political violence, armed attacks,
anti-government demonstrations, riots, political strikes, and
the relaxation of government restrictions. Variables on social
characteristics include population density, literacy rates, and
the number of physicians per one million population.
